Girl's Night Out

Saturday night the girls and I went to the Crocker for a film viewing of "Unzipped." A documentary on Isaac Mizrahi as he put out his 1994 fashion line. It was soo good, and soo funny. Isaac is crazy, yet hilarious. I love how his line was inspired by old movies. Cuz I also love old movies, there is something more classic, clean, and fantastic about them. Anyway, Saturday was really fun, one of the best nights of the summer.

Tink's Food for Thought

I wasn't home on Sunday so I couldn't type any words of wisdom. So I am making up for it one day later. So today's morsel is:

"Where all think alike, no one thinks very much" - Walter Lippmann, journalist (1889-1974)

Today Part 1 & 2

Part One: I discovered last night that I am older than Miss Universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What!?!?! Yes, the new Miss Universe a.k.a Miss Puerto Rico (very gorgeous btw) is only 18 years old. In fact a quarter of the girls in the contest last night were younger than me. This hit me hard and made me feel super old.

Part Two: I have been bonding with the processed food files at work for the last few weeks. All the while secretly snickering at the names of some of the companies. So after collecting a few favs I decided I have to share them with you all.

1) Snak King Inc.    (sound it out if that helps)
2) In a Jam Co.
3) Bimbo Bakeries USA    (I'd really like to know what they sell and who works there)
4) Sucy Lady
5) California Day Fresh Foods- Naked Juice

Tink's Food for Thought

So I have seen lots of people put a word of the day on their blog, or a quote of the week, etc. I have decided to jump on the band wagon with "Tink's Food for Thought," which is perfect since I also love food! ;) Anyway, every Sunday I will be posting a vocab word, quote, fact, song lyric or what ever I feel inspired by, and wish to keep you all thinking about for the rest of the week. So stay tuned!

This week's quote:

"It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned english- up to fifty used words in correct context- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese." - Carl Sagan (1934-1996) American Astronomer, Astrobiologist

Forever 21 Evangelists

I went shopping the other day at Forever 21, and today as I was putting my purchase away and folding up the bag, I noticed something interesting. Printed on the bottom of the bag were the words John 3:16. Which for those of you who don't know is:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

After I noticed that I turned to the internet to find out what other people were saying about it. Most people thought it was cool, some were against the idea of a store promoting chrisianity and others were just plain confused as to why a company would do that. Well I think its pretty cool. Its a nice subtle way of expressing their beliefs. And apperantly its working, at least in the capacity that lots of people are looking up the verse in their bibles (if they have them or use them).

Forever 21 is not the first corporation to do this sort of witnessing. In-N-Out and Alaska Airlines also use religious verses on their products.

So what do you guys think?

Lessons From Failure to Launch

So this is terrible but partially true. I watched Failure to Launch yesterday and something Sarah Jessica Parker said was interesting.

"All you have to do to get a guy to fall in love with you is look pretty, be nice to them, find out what they like and then pretend to like it too, share and emotional experience, let them teach you something and get the 'nod' of approval from their friends" and you are golden. You boys are so simple ;) ok not really, but that is pretty much the formula. Hate me if you want but its true.

Character Traits Worth Developing

This comes from a tiny square of paper that my Dad gave me once, put out by the "Character Counts Coalition." I thought it would be a nice reminder for everyone as human beings.

1. Be honest. Tell the truth; be sincere; don'te mislead or withhold key information; don't steal.

2. Demonstrate integrity. Stand up for your beliefs about right and wrong; be your best self; resist social pressure to do wrong.

3. Keep promises. Keep your word and honor commitments; pay your debts; return what you borrow.

4. Be loyal. Stand by family, friends, employers, community and country; don't talk about people behind their backs.

5. Be responsible. Think before you act; consider consequences; be accountable, and "take your medicine."

6. Pursue excellence. Do your best with what you have; don't quit easily.

7. Be kind and caring. Show you care by generosity and compassion; don't be selfish or mean.

8. Treat all people with respect. Be courteous and polite; judge people on their merits; be tolerant, appreciative, and accepting of differences.

9. Be fair. Be open-minded; listen to others and try to understand what they are saying and feeling.

10. Be a good citizen. Obey laws and respect authority; vote; volunteer; protect the environment.
